BIANCHI - AUTOBIANCHI EDEN ROC - Category: Passenger car - Bodywork: CI - Fuel type: ES - Colour: WHITE - Odometer reading: 68,633 - First registration: 08/12/1965 - Power: 3 - MOT type: 110B122 - Seats: 2 - WITH REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE - Comments: 1965 Autobianchi Eden Roc with a total of 68,633 km Collector’s vehicle registration certificate A bit of history: The Autobianchi brand was born out of the shared vision of the directors of the Bianchi bicycle company, Mr Agnelli and Mr Pirelli. Thus was created the brand’s first car: the Bianchina, based on the Fiat 500. Its bodywork was distinctive, and a convertible named ‘Éden Roc’ was offered by the Chardonnet dealership network from 1964 onwards. It remained in production until 1969. Drawing inspiration from the 1950s, its tiny size (3 metres long) gives it a thoroughly charming appearance. Under the bonnet is Fiat’s two-cylinder engine, producing a modest 21 cv (which is just as well, given its weight of less than 500 kg). The model on offer was sold to a collector for €25,000 in a finished condition, but the restoration was not completed as the garage went into liquidation. The bodywork has been stripped bare. The bodywork, running gear, mechanical components, tyres, hoses, cables and brakes… are all new or have been refurbished. High-quality restoration work has been carried out on 85 per cent of the car, but it needs to be finished. There are parts left to reassemble (new soft top supplied), cables to connect, the wiring harness to fit, the mechanical components to get running again… etc., etc. A few spare parts, a few missing parts including a window, the rear seat and door trim…... This is not an exhaustive list; we invite you to visit the car to see it for yourself and draw up your own list. As a classic car specialist remarked upon seeing it: ‘What a shame to have stopped so close to the finish line!!!!!!’ An Eden Roc with this level of restoration is priced at the amount for which it was sold to the collector, i.e. around 25,000 euros. Who would like to complete this French icon? For an estimate of 50 per cent of its value once finished?
